I've had a couple Prosports for a couple years now. I like them and they work well. I just can't read them in the day time, they look great at night though. The install is really easy because if you have more than one they can "daisy chain" together so you're only running 1 power source.
That being said. They're paired with an AEM wideband; I want to replace the Prosports w/ AEM gauges.

I had Glowshift in my old VR6, and they weren't too good (tho it's nice to change the color of the LEDs)
I have AEM wideband and boost now and love them.
If I changed them, it would only be for Defi. Cause they are just puuuuuuuurdy

My car came with an AEM UEGO and a cheapo Autometer boost gauge. After hooking up my EBC with boost/vacuum readout, I found out my mechanical autometer boost gauge is about -3 psi off. As they say, you get what you pay for.
The Defi BF Links are money (which Im going with), but why not looking into the non-link Defi's? I think they're about $100 cheaper and dont require a control box (I believe). The amber ones are very nice and match perfect, just like the Links.
You MIGHT get lucky and find the old Defi mechanicals around. I had them in my 1GB Talon and loved em'.

So the guy never pmmed me back about the defi.. but I really like those
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-D...Q5fAccessories
seems pretty decent, I guess ill start piecing them together.... And I am thinking about getting them in my a pillar because I dont want to have the hassle of removing the 9 gauges and moving radio... seems kind of pointless, plus I like the A pillar look.
How many gauges can be installed? right now i have 2 boost gauges (stock 9 and one on steering wheel)
Ill probably just rip the 9 set out, and fill it with a pocket... and put nothing there.
Anything I should lookout for buying used gauges?
